I have an ACL tear with meniscus injury post recon, but my knee still buckles from time to time with certain activities. I bought this guard for my recent trekking trip to Nepal and my knee held up pretty well with it.. Up till the day of the descent of 4hrs, when the knee gave way. The swelling was minimal though and I recovered in abt 2days. Not too bad, so think the guard must have helped.

Not being a doctor, I can't say for sure. However, I'd think not; that you'd need an articulated brace with hinged metal supports. This brace is equipped with metal springs that permit a full range of motion while providing compression and stabilization.I'd also advise being seen by a qualified physician rather than simply relying on external support for an unstable joint. Whatever the underlying problem, the condition may worsen if not correctly and completely treated.Best wishes.

Measure around the leg over top of the kneecap and order according to the size chart shown. The brace is shaped to accommodate the shape of the leg. At least it worked fine for me.

This is a soft brace for basic comfort. I purchased it for my mother and it has helped with the pain she gets in her knees due to arthritis.

This brace helped me for several years with a strained knee from constantly playing full court basketball. I am unfamiliar with runners knee.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, as the picture of the knee brace readily shows how to wear this (wider part above the knee, lower part below). My best guess at this is that you're asking about the gel portion of the brace? If so, that should encircle the knee cap (so that the top/center of the knee cap is NOT covered)

I think it would if you're talking about the top of your lower leg since it's not long enough to go over the knee. It stretches to fit over my cast and then tightens back up just below my knee.

The pack is 3/4 inch thick so you would have to one inch space between you knee and the brace all the way around. If you have the space this product is excellent.

Actually, this brace does lock into a straight position if you want. I personally found this one to be the best brace so far (I've gone through several). I did, however, slightly modify the straps to make them fit better; remove the neoprene sleeve because it's too hot and add some additional padding to the knee area for a tighter fit

It's not for ligament protection. But will prevent irritating from your knee brace when worn underneath

I ordered large knee brace, and it fits very firm and tight on my knee (my normal pants size is extra small to small). I was thinking about buying the extra large brace too for not-so-tight compression of my knee. The quality of this brace is very good.

Technically yes. It does stretch, but the fabric tends to pinch when doing a lot of walking and the top part (that goes around the thigh) folds over or slides down with a lot of activity. I have yet to find a brace that will properly fit a large knee.

If you are asking will the cover fit on the pad your knee rests on, yes it will. I have one on mine and it is a big help.

I wear this brace when I sleep sometimes. This brace is a compression brace and it works by reducing swelling in the joint. By reducing the swelling it reduces pain. It does also give support but I would not say thats it's main purpose. With that in mind it does not take much to reduce swelling and should not be tight. I found the longer I wore the brace the better my knees were and felt. If the brace was too tight I would not be comfortable wearing it for extended periods of time. I think a good way to judge the right pressure is.... You should not notice an obvious mark or difference in thickness of your leg above or below the brace where it ends. There should not be a bulge above or below... and even after removing there shouldnt be a noticeable mark. This brace has made a world of difference for me and actually returned my knees to a normal looking knee as the swelling in them from injuries and lymes disease. I am 45 and very athletic. I still cant run anymore but atleast I can move again and hope to run again someday. For now I cycle. Good luck! ps. I you are a guy you will probably go to tight. Men seem to believe if a little is good... Alot must be better. LOL NO NO NO!!!

It works on my husbands knee, and the problem is the knee is slipping out to the side of his knee..It does keep it stable

Yep, absolutely. I have loved this brace, it is highly effective and easy to use.

Yes. I stabilizes my knee allowing me to put some pressure on it. Definitely recommend.

I found it a great help for the problem I had. I injured a tendon in my knee where my knee actually tried to move sideways! It would not hold me up. This brace was most helpful as I waited for the healing to take place. And I was careful to be sure I rested it so it would heal. It gave me all the support I needed. I first tried the over-the-counter bulky ones and they caused too much rubbing and irritation. This fit like a glove. I hope this helps you.
